How il Started.

The Herald &: Tribune in writing
about the G. G. & G. road seems to
forget that it is a Johnson City enter
prise.
Some four years ago a company was
formed and chartered with the view of
building a railroad from here to the
coal fields Of Virginia and also south
ward to Asheyile. About the same
time a company was organized n
North Carolina to build road from
Blacks, S. c., to Marion, N. c., and
thence to Bakersville or Cranberry.
On the solicitation of the parties in
terested in the North Carolina road,
meeting of the two corporations was
held, articles of consolidation were
entered into, charters amended and
officers elected, of whom Johnson
City, or rather the the parent corpor-
alton got its share. This briefly is
the history of the formation of the
now great G. G. & c. or the Magnetic
Line"
During the years of 1928 surveys
were made by Mr., Oliphant from Moe
casin Gap to Jonesboro and beyond,
and by Capt. Dwight from Watauga
Point, on the Cranberry road, via the
Watauga River to a connection with
Mr.. ELEPHANTS line on Holston River.
Reports, estimates, &C., were made of
these, and copies OF them are now in
the possession of certain officers of the
G. G. & G. r. r. so our Jonesboro
friends need have no uneasiness OF
the company's lack of knowledge of
the topography of their section of
country or that of the "Chucky" val
ley. On the contrary they deem the
surveys made by the two able engi-
neers named above as good as any
that could be made and cannot see
where the economy would come in in
a re-survey, hence none has been
made. Our contemporary either
draws on his Imagination or has beer
sadly mised in his information or
distances, tunnels, grades, cost, &c
The actual surveys show that the
route via Johnson City is nine miles
shorter than by Jonesboro. The
grades after leaving the Iron Noun
tain not so heavy as in the vicinity o
Jonesboro. The cost of the Irol
Mountain tunnel will not exceed tina
of four miles of the tortuous cliffs O
3 "Chucky" and then only have three
|, fourths of mile of permanent tract
} to keep up against four miles TIL
! Johnson City route passes through
} the largest bed of Magnetic ore know
, in the country, also through the larg
deposits OF ores on the Hannum trac
near Greasy Cove, and through as fin
timbered region as is to be found il
East Tenn. Moreover it passes thrc
I Johnson City--the father of the enter
prise--where it will have tannerie
and factories to give the road business
Our contemporary admits of Jones
boro having drawn one road to he
doors, though therewas a shorter an
cheaper route passing through fine
agricultural section. One draw T.
